The cygwin perl packages perl and perl_manpages have been updated to
revision 5.8.8-4.
This fixes the reported versiononly issue and adds documents into
/usr/share/doc/perl-5.8.8.
The versiononly issue led to incorrect dependencies on versioned scripts
(5.8.8 suffix), failing with e.g. perldoc.
perl-5.8.8 cygwin notes:
There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.8.7. If any
exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome. No XS module needs a
recompilation.
Additionally several modules have been added to vendor_perl.
Note: Previously installed modules in site_perl have higher precedence.
See http://www.perl.org/

- removed /usr/bin/ptar and /usr/bin/ptardiff, and subsequently
Algorithm-Diff-1.1902 Text-Diff-0.35. If you want these binaries
install Archive::Tar via cpan
- PAR is not included because of /usr/bin/pp, impolite namespace
pollution. But since the PAR::Dist is included the tight version
dependency problems should have gone.
